published on 22 May 2015, in which Multiconsult ASA ("Multiconsult" or the

"Company") announced the successful completion of its initial public offering

(the "Offering").

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO U.S. NEWS WIRE

SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING

Multiconsult ASA - Stabilisation and over-allotment notice

Oslo, 22 May 2015: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement

published on 22 May 2015, in which Multiconsult ASA ("Multiconsult" or the

"Company") announced the successful completion of its initial public offering

(the "Offering").

Arctic Securities AS (the "Stabilisation Manager") may, on behalf of the Joint

Bookrunners for the Offering and listing on the Oslo Børs of the shares (the

"Shares") of Multiconsult, engage in stabilisation activities in the Shares from

today, 22 May 2015, to and including 19 June 2015 (the "Stabilisation Period").

The stabilisation transactions are aimed to support the market price of the

Shares. In connection with the Offering, the Joint Bookrunners have been granted

an over-allotment option (the "Over-allotment Option") and have over-allotted to

the investors in the Offering 1,590,000 Shares, which equals 15% of the number

of Shares sold in the Offering before over-allotments. The over-allotted Shares

have been borrowed from Stiftelsen Multiconsult.

The Over-allotment Option entitles the Joint Bookrunners, at the request of the

Stabilisation Manager, to purchase up to 1,590,000 additional Shares from

Stiftelsen Multiconsult at a price per Share equal to the offer price in the

Offering of NOK 78 per Share (the "Offer Price").

The Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation

Manager) may effect transactions that stabilise or maintain the price of the

Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail, by buying

Shares in the open market at prices equal to or lower than (but not above) the

Offer Price. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilisation Manager or any

person acting for the Stabilisation Manager to do so. Moreover, there is no

assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the

Stabilisation Manager) will undertake stabilisation activities. If stabilisation

activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time, and must end

upon the expiry of the Stabilisation Period.

Within one week after the end of the Stabilisation Period, the Stabilisation

Manager and the Company will jointly inform the market through the Oslo Stock

Exchange's information system under the Company's ticker symbol, "MULTI", of

whether any stabilisation transactions have been effected, the date at which

stabilisation started, the date at which stabilisation last occurred, and the

price range within which stabilisation was carried out for each of the dates

during which stabilisation transactions were carried out.

Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance with Section 3-12

of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and Commission Regulation (EC) No.

2273/2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the

Council as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and stabilisation of

financial instruments.

For further details see the prospectus dated 8 May 2015 issued by Multiconsult

in connection with the Offering.

ABG Sundal Collier Norge ASA and Arctic Securities AS (collectively the

"Managers") are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in the

IPO.
